THE CLARION
Summer will find Bethlites scat-tered
all over the country, and
what will they be doing- Working,
i esting, and recuperating from
finals, traveling ,swimming, fish-ing,
even studying, but most im-portant
of all, carrying their testi-monies
for Christ and serving
Him wherever they go.
Fennet Swanson has ambitions of
raising 1,500 turkeys on his
father's farm in St. Paul, Nebraska,
this summer. Working . in his home
church with the Young People, a
little fishing if he can manage it,
and keeping in contact with
Anoka, Minn, will occupy his time.
011ie Mae Landen's job as sum-mer
substitute for the secre-taries,
payroll clerk, and other
employess in the Moline, Ill. office
where she has worked before, will
provide opportunities to witness
to Catholic co-workers, and she
also hopes to be able to do some
futher reading in the line of work-ing
with rural churches in her
spare time.
Ronny Johnson will be acting as
an assistant student pastor at
the Chandler Street Baptist Church
in Jamestown, N. Y., doing visita-tion,
D.V.B.S., youth work and
preaching. Other activities? "Sail-ing!"
if he gets the boat ready, he
added.
Thor I ief Aunevik is heading east
I to spend some time with. his
sister in West Orange, N. J. and
to take part in evangelistic ser-vices
there, preaching for the Nor-wegian
services. Swimming, long
distances, is his special hobby, and
the form of recreation he looks
forward to.
H Angell will be in a good
position to acquire a sun tan,
since his summer employment will
be road construction work near
his home in Becker, Minn. Church
work and a Sunday School class
will fill week-ends, and a trip to
Big Trout Lake for relaxation and
Christian fellowship he hopes to
include in his plans.
Ted Johnson centers his plans
around Boys Work at Round
Lake, Illinois and a job in Chicago.
He has hopes of starting a Junior
Church at Northwest Baptist, looks
forward to softball, some riding,
and showing Jim Young (who will
be staying with Danny Bloom dur-ing
the summer) "a plenty good
time."
. 011ie Ohsberg outlined a tour
of Africa and then Europe,
accompained by Neal Floberg, as
his summer itinerary, with a con-tract
to pick oranges in California
after his return from abroad.
Then, in a more serious vein, he
added that his plans were not
definite, but that he was depend-ing
on the Lord's sure leading.
hirley Delin is packing her suit-
411° cases and taking along her pre-sent
roommate, Janice Jackson.
D e s tin a ti o n: Mounds-Midway
School of Nursing, where they will
begin classes and training the
middle of June. Over the 4th of
July she hopes to be able to visit
with Invasion Army in Michigan.
EmilYEcklund has a summer job
in the Twin Cities, plans to
w ork with Intermediate girls and
sponsor a softball team for them,
do Sunday School work, and get
in a fair amount of swimming and
reading during vacation time.
Ronald Skoog has a church at
Warman, Minn., which he will
he serving on week-ends and work-ing
along with Karl Lachler who
will have a church at Hillman
Township, Minn. A job with a
night crew at a wholesale house he
hopes will provide money for a car
and help toward school next year.
Vi Gerdlund is staying at the
V dormitory this summer, work-ing
at the Falcon Heights Bank,
and doing Gospel team work with
Calvary Baptist. Two weeks of
her time will be spent at Fergus
Falls for Bible school and she has
hopes of trips to Big Trout, Pine
River, possibly Winnepeg and
home to Warren, Orgeon.
E lese Evenson will make the most
of the swimming, surf-board
riding, boating and fishing which
her Sturgeon Bay, Wis. home af-fords.
Solo and ensemble work in
her home church and perhaps a
trip with friends to northern Wis-consin
will occupy the rest of the
summer days.

Final Student
Leadership
Forum Plans
For Next Year
The Student Leadership Forum,
held on Tuesday, May 16th, was
not as well attended as had been
hoped, but it was felt that all who
attended benefitted much.
Harold Lind, newly elected Stud-ent
Council president, presented
some goals for the Copncil and or-ganizations
to aim fol- in the year
that lies ahead. He pointed out
the need of emphasizing each in-dividual
student's responsibility to
the group. Only through integra-tion
and cooperation of organiza-tions
can work progress, and a
better Bethel be realized.
Clifford E. Anderson, who will
direct the aciivitie§,, of Religious
Council, presented the theme verse
that has been chosen for the
coming year—Ephesians 2:10. Read
it carefully, and keep it in mind
throughout the coming months.
Calendars for the first six weeks
of school were distributed, and dis-cussion
groups were formed, ac-cording
to field of interest, to plan
the program for these weeks, in so
far as possible.
Finally, the Council would like
to express its appreciation to all
student leaders who have cooperat-ed
in campus activities during the
year. All interest and efforts
shown have been greatly appreci-ated.
The t'emainder of the program
outlined as follows:
Procession will begin at 8:00
P.M.
Invocation by Rev. Curtis Aken-son.
Chapel Choir will sing.
Message by Dr. Lee, "Christ
Above All".
Degrees for the college present-ed
by Dean Carlson.
Degrees for the seminary pre-sented
by Dean Omark.
Degrees will be confered by
'President Wingblade.
Benediction by H. Wyman Malm-sten.
All School Picnic
To Be At
Taylors Falls
Picturesque Taylors Falls, with
its rocky cliffs and the swirling St.
Croix 'River, is again the chosen
site for the All School Picnic, to
be held May 25. The committee,
headed by Cliff E. Anderson, de-liberated
for some time as to the
best location for the picnic this
year, fearing that the grounds at
Taylors Falls might be partly un-der
water. Checking with the Con-servation
Department, however,
they were assured that the river
would be back in the channel by
the middle of May, and the
grounds would be in good con-dition
by the date of the picnic.
Games, sports and activities and
being planned by Al Windham,
who promises plenty of softball,
volleyball, badmiton, horseshoes,
hikes, and even boating and canoe-ing,
if desired.
Buses will leave Bethel at 10:30
a.m. under the direction of Ken-neth
Skov and the cost round trip
will be $1.50, -payable in meal
tickets. Harold Christenson will see
that food for the body is provided
and Wally Peterson assures rich
food for the soul at devotional
time.
From Nine to Forty-five
. . . In One Year
Forty-five Seniors, the second senior class to be graduated from
Bethel College, will receive their diplomas Friday evening, May 26th
along with thirty-nine graduating sophomores from junior college. The
four degrees being presented are Bachlor of Arts and Bachelor of Relig-ious
Education, consisting of four year courses, Associate of Arts and

Tau Sigma Pi Grows Up
FIRST YEAR ON CAMPUS SCORES SUCCESS
Kristen Linder got her first
letter from me the other day. And
that's the first letter anybody
ever got from me, because it's the
first one I ever wrote to anybody.
I didn't write it myself, exactly.
I have my limitations, so I dicated
it. And it's not because of failing
eyesight, it's because of my youth
that I didn't write it myself.
I've only been on campus about
nine months . . . and before that
I didn't exist as me, so you might
say I was born here. I caused a
slight stir when I was born, too.
I weighed over 4,000 pounds and
I'm pretty proud of that.
My first effortt at asserting my
personality almost ended in dis-aster.
Maybe you remember the
Homecoming Parade last fall. I
was in that, but being practically
a new-born, I didn't quite get
started when the rest of the parade
did. Weaving in and out of Snell-ing
Avenue traffic wihle you are
trying to catch a parade you lost
has its drawbacks. Better organi-zation
of time is supposed to elimi-nate
such situations, but it's a
little like aspirin . . . if you chew
on it a while, it leaves a bitter
taste.
I almost forgot to tell you that
my official representative, Harold
Lind, has allowed me to take
things into my own hands this
issue. And I want to write you a
short letter (also dictated.) Now
Ah, but what a sorry life this
would be without memories. Just
think, song writers would have
very little to write about, elderly
women and bachelors would have
nothing to sigh about and barber-shop
quartets would have nothing
to sing about. And so, as the
philosopher has so aptly put it,
"today's experiences are the mem-ories
of tomorrow."
Now, of course, this being the
it only proper and fitting that we
reminisce together through some
of the trivia and maybe some of
the serious happenings of this
year. Do you like chicken? Well,
grab a wing and stroll with me
through the annals of Bethel, 1949-
50 edition.
After the initial week of festivi-ties,
introductions, receptions and
pranks, do you remember how
everybody studied hard for a week
or so? Those were the days when
Paul Lilienberg only looked at the
girls and everybody thought he
was so shy. And Bob Mantzke was
sc thin I hardly recognized him .
I believe he was down to 2231/2
lbs. The biggest relief of that
first quarter, however, was final
exams before Thanksgiving.'
By this time everybody began
to know each other better and
last year's budding romances
bloomed out into carats. And who
can forget the sumptuous Smorgas-bord
(which Chris still can't pro-nounce)
just before Christmas
vacation? The sudden death of
John Balian was felt in every
sphere of campus activity as we
lost a Christian gentleman from
our midst, The Seniors presented
the incomparable Bev Shea in con-cert.
Of course, we can't forget
seeing all of our pastors at Found-er's
Week and the challenge we
that I've discovered such things
can be done. I'm all for them.
Dear Bethelites,
I haven't learned to walk by
myself, yet, but I can pull myself
up on my own two feet with the
aid of my new Chairman, Joe
Brygger; vice-Chairman, Thorleif
Aunevik; Secretary, Ruth Daniel-son
and Student Council Represen-tative,
Frank Doten. And I plan to
be walking by next fall. V11 be a
year old by then.
I've learned' a lot from other
campus clubs lately. For instance,
that Ron Johnson would be an
asset to any organization the way
he can sling electric lights and
stage properties around. And Dan-ny
Bloom is something more than
a top-notch football player. The
guy can paint posters, too. Jane
Johnson does all right on a de-bate
squad, as does Florence (Nor-dy)
Nordstrom . .. an item of in-formation
I didn't know anything
about at the beginning of the year.
Who said debating is and ultra-men's
world?
We could stand more efficiency
around here of the sort that
German Club produces. I've seen
Irene Kley whip up a news re-port
on their activities in practi-cally
no seconds flat. About Span-ish
Club I would't know. Yo no
habla espanol. But what would
be wrong with a speech club blos-soming
out in some colorful Mexi-by
Ancient Alex
received through Missionary Em-phasis
week. Some of the girls,
also, still remember how "Lusc-ious"
Butler looked on Nikolinas
Dag.
Gordy Peterson endeared him-self
to our hearts as his challenge
of Christian living has lived on.
Amado Chanco's appearance made
the Phillipines take on new mean-ing
for all of us. I don't think
many of us have forgotten that
Adele Norman was with us for a
day either . . . she sang too, didn't
she? I thing that next years' Fresh-men
are going to see if Ted and
JoAnn Johnson's Swedish brogue
has disappeared after their con-vincing
act at Prospective Stud-ent's
Day. Of course, we miss
Chess Linder at the piano or in
the Coffee Shop and we hope she
will be back with us next year.
J. S. and Seminary banquets
brought two top-notch speakers in
Dr. Bob Smith and Mr. Bruce
Compton. And C. E. became Dr.
Carlson.
Most of you can add your own
from here, such as: chicken from
Dial 'n Dine, flat tire excuses for
getting in late, broken romances,
secret pals, etc. Put them all to-gether
and we have had a wonder-ful
year at Bethel, haven't we?
Despite the few unpleasant hap-penings,
the whole general field of
1949-50 memories has been on the
good side and with your help, next
year will be even beter. Have
a good summer and next fall I hope
you can look back on happy and
profitable vacation memories.
cano costumes one meeting next
fall? Swedish Club wins campus
favor every year with a smorgas-bord
and the lit societies thrive on
competition (with or without a
Field Day.)
In my ramblings I managed to
become very pleased with my self
. . . until I reached the last formal
meeting of Alexis Society. Seated
sedately in their midst, I came to
the conclusion that I have not yet
mastered the English language.
What else am I to think when with
my own two eyes I see Herman
Van Arsdale and Paul Anderson
practically sweating blood to prove
classes in the Sem aren't steep
enough, too few exams are give to
students etc. etc.
This is the longest letter I've
ever written. I just want to men-tion
my big night, May 8. It was
my first attempt at the social
graces. I practiced three weeks
before I finally presented a skit.
"The Thing" and served coffee and
pie-a-la-mode afterward. If you
missed, you missed the beginning
of great things, but that won't
bar you from next year. I'll know
how to walk then and I'll be wait-ing
to hear all about the summer
you spent with God.
Until next year, remember,

The Junior-Senior Oratory Con-test
for the first $25 of the $50
given by Dr. Andrew Ericson of
Marquette, Michigan for the en-couragement
of speech activities
was held the evening of May 17th.
The winners of the 1st and 2nd
prizes were as follows: 1st prize
went to Henry Nelson of Chicago,
Ill. The subject of his oration was,
"Thank You America" describing
the lack of action of Congress re-garding
the help of D.P.'s The 2nd
prize went to Thorlief Annevick
of Spind, Norway. His subject was,
"What the Europeans Think of
America."
Four people were entered in the
finals of this contest. The feeling
was universal among the judges
and the audience that the orators
were some of the finest that have
been heard on the campus. Mr.
Berntsen who supervised the con-test
was highly pleased with the
results. The judges were Warran
Mild of our own English Faculty
and Dr. Robert Knell of the Uni-versity
of Minnesota.
The Freshman-Sophomore Ora-tory
Contest for the 2nd $25 of 'the
same award as mentioned above
was held on the following evening,
May 18. Out of a field of six
contestants in the finals, the fol-lowing
were the two winners. 1st
prize of $15 went to Ray Lind of
West Concord, Minnesota. His sub-ject
was "The Negroe in Minne-sota."
2nd prize of $10 went to
Marion Gustaysen of Rockford,
Illinois. Her subject was "Televis-ion
and You." The judges were
Mr. M. Schultz and Mr. Robert
Otto of our own faculty.
These contests have both been
received enthusiastically by stud-ents
on the campus who have an
active interest in speech and there
is a strong feeling on the campus
among faculty and students alike
that these contests should become
annual affairs.
On the Burner
J. S. Reflections
by Muriel
This weather becomes discourag-ing
at times — that is especially
when it rains. Perhaps we should
consider it a blessing, however, be-cause
when old man sun peeps
his head out and the day looks
jus,t ,,beautiful for a walk through
the park, it's almost impossible to
get out a Psychology book or hand
ir, that last minute term paper.
The J.S. banquet was a big suc-cess,
I'm sure, in the minds of the
student body. The weather fit the
occasion beautifully. The fellows,
too, enjoyed the banquet, but their
billfolds must be plenty "flat",
after it all. Delmar Johnson was
talking with Margaret Friberg
shortly after the banquet, and was
heard saying, "Honey, since I met
you I can't eat, I can't sleep, I
can't drink." Margaret asked,
"Why not, dear?" Delmar replied
"Because I'm broke!"
This year's J.S. Banquet was un-usual
in one respect—no one re-ceived
a "sparkler." In another re-spect
it was the same as usual.
Certain fellows dated certain girls
and, who knows, they may end up
in the married couples dorm after
all. Wow, Marjorie Skog and
"Duke" make a cute pair, don't
they?
Charles Germany, last years
business manager of the Clarion
just dropped in from Louisville,
Kentucky. How y'all, Chuck? Sho
is nice to see yo again. Chuck says
the leaves have 'been out for three
weeks down South. Wonder if we
couldn't move Bethel a little far-her
south where we would have
at least one month of warm
weather!
This • is the last Clarion for the
year so it's time to bid you adieu
for this year. God bless each one
of us as we go out this summer
in His service. If He has His way
in our lives it will be fruitful and
happy summer we know.
Stall Members On
Road to Recovery
Ray Johnson, business manager
of the Clarion, and one of its most
valuable staff members through-out
the year, has been hospitalized
since Monday, May 8. He was
taken late that night to the Luth-earn
Deaconess Hospital in Minne-apolis,
suffering from an acute at-tack
of appendicitis, and is still
hospitalized.
He has received blood trans-fusions
and reports that he might
yet have to undergo an operation.
He doesn't know when he will be
able to leave his hospital confine-ment,
but recently has been able
to be up for a little while at a time
and is feeling much better, now.
The staff of the Clarion has
greatly appreciated Ray's effici-ency
faithfulness and managerial
ability during the past year, but
have come to realize more fully
the extent of his efforts while
printing this last issue in his ab-sence.
Also among the hospitalized is
Miss Edith Larson, office manager
of the College, who has been ab-sent
since the 3rd of May, due
to a serious case of ulcers. She is
reported to. be eating and resting
well now, and feeling in good
spirits.
She, too, hps been greatly miss-ed
by the office force and by all
who are accustomed to see her
ch• eerful smile and depend on her capable assistence.

By President Wingbiade
Henrik Isben was the Shake-speare
of Norway. In one of his
masterpieces, Pere Gyna, he por-trays
a young man who leave his
Lome with all its opportunities and
roams the wide world.
He comes back after years of
wandering and stands unrecogniz-ed
in a crowd on the very day that
his old homestead is auctioned off
to the highest bidder. Later he has
a symbolic vision. It is a picture
of his own life characterizea ny
failure and futility. He hears the
soughing of the wind and a voice
—"These are the songs you did
not sing." He sees falling dew-drops
and hears a voice—"These
are the tears you did not shed."
He hears the rustling of leaves—
"These are the thoughts you did
not think:" He sees broken strows
—"These are the deeds you did
not do."
The lost years rise up as an
indictment, and he realizes that
"of all sad words of tongue or
pen — the saddest are these, II
might have been."
As we look back on the past
school year—how do we feel? Has
it been progressive and construc-tive
intelectually and spiritually?
We trust, and we are sure that in
most cases there has been growth
and progress and victory. But it
may be that some have lost the
battle. If so, there is still hope.
God will give you another chance.
An officer came riding up to
his general with the sad news of
defeat, that the battle joined some
distance away had been lost. The
general looked at the sun still
above the horizon and exclaimed,
"There is time for another battle—
order another charge." And before
sunset defeat has turned into vic-tory.
And the basic truth by which
we live victoriously is found in
the promise and the precept: "Not
by might or power (human) but by
my Spirit saith the Lord." The
secret lies in the vital contact
and identification with Him.
This is wishing all the Bethel
family, students and faculty, a
wonderful summer in the sunshine
of His love!

Bethany Takes
Loosely Played
Contest, 9-8
On May 13, the Bethel baseball
team dropped its second straight
at the current campaign. Bethany
of Mankato were the winners over
the Redmen by the score of 9-8
in a game played at Como.
Bethel surprised the fans with
a triple play in the initial frame.
The .Bethany troop had started off
with a walk of Ken Greenman,
and an error on the part of Gordy
Johnson. On the next play, Bud
Eklof on first took in a fly ball,
stepped on first, and then threw
to Gordy Johnson at second for
three outs at a single stroke.
From this point on in, the
game took on a shabby aspect, with
both teams playing poor ball,
guilty of errors, both mechanical
and mental. Bethany took advan-tage
of the right conditions in the
second to score four runs. Bethel
came back in their half of the in-ning
to score one. In the third,
each team pushed one run over the
plate to make the count read 5-2
in Bethany's favor. Bethel scored
one more in the fourth to keep
within range, but Bethany sent
three men over the home plate in
the fifth to pull away once again.
Still keeping in the game, Bethel
scored four runs in the sixth to
keep their hopes alive of winning.
Again each team scored one run
apiece in the eighth inning, but
this ended the afternoon's scor-ing,
and so the score read 9-8
in Bethany's favor.
Delmar Johnson hit a solid triple
in the second inning to score
Eklof. Eklof drove out a double
in another inning. All told, Bethel
outhit the visitors 13-9, but were
unable to score as often.
It was a loosely played ball
game with many errors—six charg-ed
against Bethel and five for
Bethany.
Northwestern Falls
As Indians Avenge
Earlier Loss, 8 - 3
Northwestern Schools of Minne-apolis
downed Bethel in a good
game played on May 10 at Fort
Snelling. It was the first loss for
Bethel in three games this year,
having downed Luther and Concor-dia
earlier in the season.
Bud Eklof pitched a good game,
but received poor supuort from his
team mates as they committed a
total of six errors. Third base
proved to be a bad spot as Delmar
Johnson and Red Anderson bobbl-ed
four balls between them. Pierce
and Eklof also had the misfortune
of making misplays.
The earlier stages had all the
resemblances of a pitcher's duel
between Eklof and Stone for
Northwestern. After a scorless first
three innings, the Mill Citians
broke lose for two runs in the
fourth, followed by Singletons in
the fifth and sixth. Meanwhile,
Bethel scored all three of their
runs in the sixth in a good come-back
rally, but it proved to be
not quite enough. Northwestern
added an insurance run in the
eighth to make the final score in
their favor 5-3.
Each team collected eight hits,
all singles. Danny Bloom was the
hiting star for Bethel, as he drove
in two runs in the big sixth. Gordy
Johnson had 3 for 5 for a good
day at the plate, and Bud Eklof
got two hits in his four times at
bat.
Both teams turned in some fine
fielding and base running. Each
team scored an unassisted double
play. Werts for Bethel and Lehn
for Northwestern.
In the pitching department,
Eklof walked four, struck out 6,
while Stone walked only 2, and
fanned 10.
Sports Sketch
BY DAVE BROWN
Delmar Johnson, 21 year old
junior, is playing his second year
with the Indian baseball team as
third basemen. Previous to his ac-tivities
in Bethel sports, Delmar
played basketball at Hirsch high
school in Chicago, from which he
graduated in 1946; also church
leagues in Chicago—Delmar play-ed
with the Elim Baptist team—
gave him practice in softball. How-ever
his first taste of baseball
came at Bethel last year as he
covered the third base sack. In
addition to baseball, Delmar is an
ardent handball enthusiast, playing
nearly every evening.
In the scholastic field, Delmar
has completed one year of semi-nary
study besides his three years
of college work. At the present
time philosophy is his major but,
if additional sociological subjects
are included in the Bethel cur-riculum
next year Delmar indicat-ed
his desire to switch to a socio-logy
major.
Extra-curriculur activities in the
nature of gospel teams, music, and
the religious council kept Delmar's
life outside of the classroom a
busy one. His abilities in the
musical, including playing the
piano and singing, greatly increase
his value on gospel team work.
Throughout the year, he has been
an active member of the male
chorus.
Delmar remarked that there is
a spiritual bond present this year
in the baseball squad which has
been lacking in some of the past
seasons. In fact, the campus as a
whole has demonstrated greater
unity scholastically and socially
chiefly because of the spiritual
unity effected by the bond of
Christian fellowship, is Delmar's
opinion.
Greenman pitched against Beth-any,
holding them to 5 hits. Both
Bethany and Bethel scored one
run apiece in each of the first
two innings. In the Indian half of
the third, the winning run was
scored by the Indians. The pitching
responsibility shifted to Eklof in
the game with Luther.
NORTHWESTERN FALLS, 8-3
On Wednesday, May the 17th,
the Indians squared up the season
with Northwestern by crossing the
plate with 8 runs and holding the
Eagles to 3. Pitcher Eklof allowed
Northwestern 5 'hits, and the In-dians
banged out 8 hits against
pitcher Schoonover of the Eagles.
Intramural
Statistics
First place in the intramural
trophy race was being contested
between the teams of Illinois and
East as of Monday, May 22. Ill-inois

that time. Yet remaining to be
played were the men's ping pong
doubles and handball doubles in
the final division, and the men's
handball singles in both the semi-final
and final division. To win
first place, East must win first in
all three contests to claim the tro-phy.
Standings to Monday, May 22nd,

Indians Claim Week-end Wins
Against Bethany and Luther
The final two games of the Indian season were played off last
Saturday when the team journeyed first to Mankato to engage Bethany
in a morning event, and then appeared against Luther in an afternoon
event. Bethany fell 3-2, and Indian power crowned the Luther game
!1-9.
On Tuesday, May the 9th, the Indians showed good control of the
diamond and poked out hits at the right times to defeat Concordia
Junior College of St. Paul, 8-4. Pitcher Eklof allowed 5 hits for Con-cordia,
and the Indians batted out 8 hits against hurler Burchardt of
Concordia.
No scores were recorded in the first two innings, however, a single
in the first by Koehler, put a man / on for Concordia. On an attempt to
steal, Werts picked him off at
second. In the Indians half of the
first Gordon Johnson and Bud
Pierce both singled to left field
but the side was retired before
a score could cross the plate.

Bethel College Draws Students
Of Many Countries and States
In the United States, from Los
Angeles to Brooklyn and from
Bowdoinham, __Maine __to Cotton-wood,
Arizona the students came
to Bethel this school year. Quite
naturally, Minnesota led in the
greatest number from any one
state, but several states pressed
Minnesota for that honor, Illinois
in particular. Illinois claims as
residents at least sixty students
from Bethel. Next in line is Iowa
which sent at least thirty-five
young men and women to St. Paul
and Bethel.
Two other midwest states fol-lowed,
those of Wisconsin and
Michigan in that order. Wisconsin
had at least thirty students and
Michigan about twenty-seven. Then
switching to the far west and Cali-fornia
which sent twenty students
to Bethel this year. Nebraska fol-lowed
with fifteen as did Mas-sachussetts.
Then the states of
Washington was next with thirteen
and North Dakota with twelve,
followed by its sister state of
South Dakota with ten.
Polomeme Potters
Present Pottery
Making Methods
The Polomeme Potters, Mrs.
Susan Conrad and Mr. J. Eldwin
Sawhill, presented an intriguing
demonstration of pottery making
at the College Chapel, Tuesday,
May 16.
Pottery making, in both its an-cient
and modern methods, is a
part of the program and those at-tending
the demonstration saw
vases, bowls, and other earthen-ware
develop before their eyes
on the potter's wheel.
Along with the actual process of
making pottery, Mrs. Conrad and
Mr. Sawhill presented a little of
the history of the most ancient
process of throwing, pressing,
building, and pouring the clay into
forms, while this was demonstrat-ed.
Other more complicated phases
of pottery making such as ceramics
and ceramic sculpture was ex-plained
by the Polomeme Potters.
The potter's wheel on which the
earthenware was formed can be
made out of almost anything.
Rev. Thompson
Speaks to Grads
The 1950 graduating class, facul-ty
members, students and friends
of the school met together on Sun-day,
May 21 for the annual bac-calaureate
service held in the col-lege
chapel at 4 P.M. President
Wingblade opened the service with
prayer after which the chapel
choir sang two numbers of praise
and devotion.
Following this, Dean. Carlson of
the college and Dean Omark of
the seminary read Scripture and
led in prayer. The speaker for the
occasion was Rev. Lester Thomp-son
from Muskegon, Michigan who
delivered a challenging message
on the text, "Spring up 0 Well".
After the service, refreshments
were served in the dining hall.
Student Okay
Game Evening
Bethel game night, held Satur-day
night, May 6th, as an experi-ment
on campus, met with such
favor as to promote further activ-ity
next fall.
This idea was first thought of
Ix hen Al Windham and Ron John-son
were talking in the coffee
shop. It was the general idea that
on some Friday or Saturday nights
many students were without "fel-lowship"—
this brought to Al's
mind the successful game nights
held at Bible Institute Of Los
Angeles.
It was estimated that approxi-mately
60 or 70 students partici-pated
in the games. There were
groups playing monopoly, karum,
chess, jig-saw puzzles, even jacks
(all donated by various indivi-duals),
as well as volley ball, ping-pong,
and hand ball.
Next year this function will be
under the direction of some non-affiliated
group and will be held
only on week-end nights when no
other school function is being held.

Recital Given By
MusicDepartment
Bethel's first annual music re-cital
took place Monday night,
May 15, in the college chapel.
Since Bethel has grown in size and
in curriculum these past two years
there has been a growing interest
in music in all its forms and
several gave expression to that in-terest
last Monday night.
Participants in the recital were:
Rhoda Armstrong, Piano; Clarence
Larson, voice; Carol Dubuque,
piano; Claryce Skoog, voice; Rich-ard
Dahiquist and Jim Hubbard,
piano; Phil McLain, voice; Al and
Dick Anthony, piano; Keith La-
Gesse, voice; Conrad Lundberg,
violin; Benny Asplund, voice; Ruth
Erbst, organ; Anna Karcher, vio-lin;
Audrey Ekdahl, voice; Carol
Addington, piano; and an instru-mental
ensemble.
The music department has added
both instructors and courses this
year, making it possible for more
students to study than ever be-fore.
Plans for the future are not
complete as yet, but it is certain
that the student music recital will
be an annual affair at Bethel.

Climaxing an eventful year of activities as a group, the members
of the Bethel Dining Hall staff will gather this evening in Bethel's
Green Room for their annual Spring Banquet. This event will be of
special significance to many as a large majority of the staff will not
be returning next year.
The student body of Bethel college for 1949-50 was made up of
students from at least twenty-four states and ten foreign countries.
Heading the list from foreign countries was our good neighbor to
the north, Canada with at least eight students. Although Mexico was
not represented, Guatemala, a little farther down the map, was repre-sented
by Roselia Solis from Guatemala City.
The Scandinavian countries, Norway, Sweden, and Finland each
contributed one student to the lists of Bethel. They are Thorleif Aune-vik,
Paul Lillienburg and Alwar Sundell, from Norway, Sweden, and
Finland respectively.
From England came Edward Avey, from the Netherlands was
Johannes Niemeyer, and Germany
was represented by Annemarie
Oesterle. While on the other side
of the world Bethel was privileged
to have China and the Phillipines
represented by Helen Chao, and
Amado Chunco respectively.

Summer will find Bethlites scat-tered
all over the country, and
what will they be doing- Working,
i esting, and recuperating from
finals, traveling ,swimming, fish-ing,
even studying, but most im-portant
of all, carrying their testi-monies
for Christ and serving
Him wherever they go.
Fennet Swanson has ambitions of
raising 1,500 turkeys on his
father's farm in St. Paul, Nebraska,
this summer. Working . in his home
church with the Young People, a
little fishing if he can manage it,
and keeping in contact with
Anoka, Minn, will occupy his time.
011ie Mae Landen's job as sum-mer
substitute for the secre-taries,
payroll clerk, and other
employess in the Moline, Ill. office
where she has worked before, will
provide opportunities to witness
to Catholic co-workers, and she
also hopes to be able to do some
futher reading in the line of work-ing
with rural churches in her
spare time.
Ronny Johnson will be acting as
an assistant student pastor at
the Chandler Street Baptist Church
in Jamestown, N. Y., doing visita-tion,
D.V.B.S., youth work and
preaching. Other activities? "Sail-ing!"
if he gets the boat ready, he
added.
Thor I ief Aunevik is heading east
I to spend some time with. his
sister in West Orange, N. J. and
to take part in evangelistic ser-vices
there, preaching for the Nor-wegian
services. Swimming, long
distances, is his special hobby, and
the form of recreation he looks
forward to.
H Angell will be in a good
position to acquire a sun tan,
since his summer employment will
be road construction work near
his home in Becker, Minn. Church
work and a Sunday School class
will fill week-ends, and a trip to
Big Trout Lake for relaxation and
Christian fellowship he hopes to
include in his plans.
Ted Johnson centers his plans
around Boys Work at Round
Lake, Illinois and a job in Chicago.
He has hopes of starting a Junior
Church at Northwest Baptist, looks
forward to softball, some riding,
and showing Jim Young (who will
be staying with Danny Bloom dur-ing
the summer) "a plenty good
time."
. 011ie Ohsberg outlined a tour
of Africa and then Europe,
accompained by Neal Floberg, as
his summer itinerary, with a con-tract
to pick oranges in California
after his return from abroad.
Then, in a more serious vein, he
added that his plans were not
definite, but that he was depend-ing
on the Lord's sure leading.

of the swimming, surf-board
riding, boating and fishing which
her Sturgeon Bay, Wis. home af-fords.
Solo and ensemble work in
her home church and perhaps a

Final Student
Leadership
Forum Plans
For Next Year
The Student Leadership Forum,
held on Tuesday, May 16th, was
not as well attended as had been
hoped, but it was felt that all who
attended benefitted much.
Harold Lind, newly elected Stud-ent
Council president, presented
some goals for the Copncil and or-ganizations
to aim fol- in the year
that lies ahead. He pointed out
the need of emphasizing each in-dividual
student's responsibility to
the group. Only through integra-tion
and cooperation of organiza-tions
can work progress, and a
better Bethel be realized.
Clifford E. Anderson, who will
direct the aciivitie§,, of Religious
Council, presented the theme verse
that has been chosen for the
coming year—Ephesians 2:10. Read
it carefully, and keep it in mind
throughout the coming months.
Calendars for the first six weeks
of school were distributed, and dis-cussion
groups were formed, ac-cording
to field of interest, to plan
the program for these weeks, in so
far as possible.
Finally, the Council would like
to express its appreciation to all
student leaders who have cooperat-ed
in campus activities during the
year. All interest and efforts
shown have been greatly appreci-ated.
The t'emainder of the program
outlined as follows:
Procession will begin at 8:00
P.M.
Invocation by Rev. Curtis Aken-son.
Chapel Choir will sing.
Message by Dr. Lee, "Christ
Above All".
Degrees for the college present-ed
by Dean Carlson.
Degrees for the seminary pre-sented
by Dean Omark.
Degrees will be confered by
'President Wingblade.
Benediction by H. Wyman Malm-sten.
All School Picnic
To Be At
Taylors Falls
Picturesque Taylors Falls, with
its rocky cliffs and the swirling St.
Croix 'River, is again the chosen
site for the All School Picnic, to
be held May 25. The committee,
headed by Cliff E. Anderson, de-liberated
for some time as to the
best location for the picnic this
year, fearing that the grounds at
Taylors Falls might be partly un-der
water. Checking with the Con-servation
Department, however,
they were assured that the river
would be back in the channel by
the middle of May, and the
grounds would be in good con-dition
by the date of the picnic.
Games, sports and activities and
being planned by Al Windham,
who promises plenty of softball,
volleyball, badmiton, horseshoes,
hikes, and even boating and canoe-ing,
if desired.
Buses will leave Bethel at 10:30
a.m. under the direction of Ken-neth
Skov and the cost round trip
will be $1.50, -payable in meal
tickets. Harold Christenson will see
that food for the body is provided
and Wally Peterson assures rich
food for the soul at devotional
time.

Tau Sigma Pi Grows Up
FIRST YEAR ON CAMPUS SCORES SUCCESS
Kristen Linder got her first
letter from me the other day. And
that's the first letter anybody
ever got from me, because it's the
first one I ever wrote to anybody.
I didn't write it myself, exactly.
I have my limitations, so I dicated
it. And it's not because of failing
eyesight, it's because of my youth
that I didn't write it myself.
I've only been on campus about
nine months . . . and before that
I didn't exist as me, so you might
say I was born here. I caused a
slight stir when I was born, too.
I weighed over 4,000 pounds and
I'm pretty proud of that.
My first effortt at asserting my
personality almost ended in dis-aster.
Maybe you remember the
Homecoming Parade last fall. I
was in that, but being practically
a new-born, I didn't quite get
started when the rest of the parade
did. Weaving in and out of Snell-ing
Avenue traffic wihle you are
trying to catch a parade you lost
has its drawbacks. Better organi-zation
of time is supposed to elimi-nate
such situations, but it's a
little like aspirin . . . if you chew
on it a while, it leaves a bitter
taste.
I almost forgot to tell you that
my official representative, Harold
Lind, has allowed me to take
things into my own hands this
issue. And I want to write you a
short letter (also dictated.) Now
Ah, but what a sorry life this
would be without memories. Just
think, song writers would have
very little to write about, elderly
women and bachelors would have
nothing to sigh about and barber-shop
quartets would have nothing
to sing about. And so, as the
philosopher has so aptly put it,
"today's experiences are the mem-ories
of tomorrow."
Now, of course, this being the
it only proper and fitting that we
reminisce together through some
of the trivia and maybe some of
the serious happenings of this
year. Do you like chicken? Well,
grab a wing and stroll with me
through the annals of Bethel, 1949-
50 edition.
After the initial week of festivi-ties,
introductions, receptions and
pranks, do you remember how
everybody studied hard for a week
or so? Those were the days when
Paul Lilienberg only looked at the
girls and everybody thought he
was so shy. And Bob Mantzke was
sc thin I hardly recognized him .
I believe he was down to 2231/2
lbs. The biggest relief of that
first quarter, however, was final
exams before Thanksgiving.'
By this time everybody began
to know each other better and
last year's budding romances
bloomed out into carats. And who
can forget the sumptuous Smorgas-bord
(which Chris still can't pro-nounce)
just before Christmas
vacation? The sudden death of
John Balian was felt in every
sphere of campus activity as we
lost a Christian gentleman from
our midst, The Seniors presented
the incomparable Bev Shea in con-cert.
Of course, we can't forget
seeing all of our pastors at Found-er's
Week and the challenge we
that I've discovered such things
can be done. I'm all for them.
Dear Bethelites,
I haven't learned to walk by
myself, yet, but I can pull myself
up on my own two feet with the
aid of my new Chairman, Joe
Brygger; vice-Chairman, Thorleif
Aunevik; Secretary, Ruth Daniel-son
and Student Council Represen-tative,
Frank Doten. And I plan to
be walking by next fall. V11 be a
year old by then.
I've learned' a lot from other
campus clubs lately. For instance,
that Ron Johnson would be an
asset to any organization the way
he can sling electric lights and
stage properties around. And Dan-ny
Bloom is something more than
a top-notch football player. The
guy can paint posters, too. Jane
Johnson does all right on a de-bate
squad, as does Florence (Nor-dy)
Nordstrom . .. an item of in-formation
I didn't know anything
about at the beginning of the year.
Who said debating is and ultra-men's
world?
We could stand more efficiency
around here of the sort that
German Club produces. I've seen
Irene Kley whip up a news re-port
on their activities in practi-cally
no seconds flat. About Span-ish
Club I would't know. Yo no
habla espanol. But what would
be wrong with a speech club blos-soming
out in some colorful Mexi-by
Ancient Alex
received through Missionary Em-phasis
week. Some of the girls,
also, still remember how "Lusc-ious"
Butler looked on Nikolinas
Dag.
Gordy Peterson endeared him-self
to our hearts as his challenge
of Christian living has lived on.
Amado Chanco's appearance made
the Phillipines take on new mean-ing
for all of us. I don't think
many of us have forgotten that
Adele Norman was with us for a
day either . . . she sang too, didn't
she? I thing that next years' Fresh-men
are going to see if Ted and
JoAnn Johnson's Swedish brogue
has disappeared after their con-vincing
act at Prospective Stud-ent's
Day. Of course, we miss
Chess Linder at the piano or in
the Coffee Shop and we hope she
will be back with us next year.
J. S. and Seminary banquets
brought two top-notch speakers in
Dr. Bob Smith and Mr. Bruce
Compton. And C. E. became Dr.
Carlson.
Most of you can add your own
from here, such as: chicken from
Dial 'n Dine, flat tire excuses for
getting in late, broken romances,
secret pals, etc. Put them all to-gether
and we have had a wonder-ful
year at Bethel, haven't we?
Despite the few unpleasant hap-penings,
the whole general field of
1949-50 memories has been on the
good side and with your help, next
year will be even beter. Have
a good summer and next fall I hope
you can look back on happy and
profitable vacation memories.
cano costumes one meeting next
fall? Swedish Club wins campus
favor every year with a smorgas-bord
and the lit societies thrive on
competition (with or without a
Field Day.)
In my ramblings I managed to
become very pleased with my self
. . . until I reached the last formal
meeting of Alexis Society. Seated
sedately in their midst, I came to
the conclusion that I have not yet
mastered the English language.
What else am I to think when with
my own two eyes I see Herman
Van Arsdale and Paul Anderson
practically sweating blood to prove
classes in the Sem aren't steep
enough, too few exams are give to
students etc. etc.
This is the longest letter I've
ever written. I just want to men-tion
my big night, May 8. It was
my first attempt at the social
graces. I practiced three weeks
before I finally presented a skit.
"The Thing" and served coffee and
pie-a-la-mode afterward. If you
missed, you missed the beginning
of great things, but that won't
bar you from next year. I'll know
how to walk then and I'll be wait-ing
to hear all about the summer
you spent with God.
Until next year, remember,

The Junior-Senior Oratory Con-test
for the first $25 of the $50
given by Dr. Andrew Ericson of
Marquette, Michigan for the en-couragement
of speech activities
was held the evening of May 17th.
The winners of the 1st and 2nd
prizes were as follows: 1st prize
went to Henry Nelson of Chicago,
Ill. The subject of his oration was,
"Thank You America" describing
the lack of action of Congress re-garding
the help of D.P.'s The 2nd
prize went to Thorlief Annevick
of Spind, Norway. His subject was,
"What the Europeans Think of
America."
Four people were entered in the
finals of this contest. The feeling
was universal among the judges
and the audience that the orators
were some of the finest that have
been heard on the campus. Mr.
Berntsen who supervised the con-test
was highly pleased with the
results. The judges were Warran
Mild of our own English Faculty
and Dr. Robert Knell of the Uni-versity
of Minnesota.
The Freshman-Sophomore Ora-tory
Contest for the 2nd $25 of 'the
same award as mentioned above
was held on the following evening,
May 18. Out of a field of six
contestants in the finals, the fol-lowing
were the two winners. 1st
prize of $15 went to Ray Lind of
West Concord, Minnesota. His sub-ject
was "The Negroe in Minne-sota."
2nd prize of $10 went to
Marion Gustaysen of Rockford,
Illinois. Her subject was "Televis-ion
and You." The judges were
Mr. M. Schultz and Mr. Robert
Otto of our own faculty.
These contests have both been
received enthusiastically by stud-ents
on the campus who have an
active interest in speech and there
is a strong feeling on the campus
among faculty and students alike
that these contests should become
annual affairs.
On the Burner
J. S. Reflections
by Muriel
This weather becomes discourag-ing
at times — that is especially
when it rains. Perhaps we should
consider it a blessing, however, be-cause
when old man sun peeps
his head out and the day looks
jus,t ,,beautiful for a walk through
the park, it's almost impossible to
get out a Psychology book or hand
ir, that last minute term paper.
The J.S. banquet was a big suc-cess,
I'm sure, in the minds of the
student body. The weather fit the
occasion beautifully. The fellows,
too, enjoyed the banquet, but their
billfolds must be plenty "flat",
after it all. Delmar Johnson was
talking with Margaret Friberg
shortly after the banquet, and was
heard saying, "Honey, since I met
you I can't eat, I can't sleep, I
can't drink." Margaret asked,
"Why not, dear?" Delmar replied
"Because I'm broke!"
This year's J.S. Banquet was un-usual
in one respect—no one re-ceived
a "sparkler." In another re-spect
it was the same as usual.
Certain fellows dated certain girls
and, who knows, they may end up
in the married couples dorm after
all. Wow, Marjorie Skog and
"Duke" make a cute pair, don't
they?
Charles Germany, last years
business manager of the Clarion
just dropped in from Louisville,
Kentucky. How y'all, Chuck? Sho
is nice to see yo again. Chuck says
the leaves have 'been out for three
weeks down South. Wonder if we
couldn't move Bethel a little far-her
south where we would have
at least one month of warm
weather!
This • is the last Clarion for the
year so it's time to bid you adieu
for this year. God bless each one
of us as we go out this summer
in His service. If He has His way
in our lives it will be fruitful and
happy summer we know.
Stall Members On
Road to Recovery
Ray Johnson, business manager
of the Clarion, and one of its most
valuable staff members through-out
the year, has been hospitalized
since Monday, May 8. He was
taken late that night to the Luth-earn
Deaconess Hospital in Minne-apolis,
suffering from an acute at-tack
of appendicitis, and is still
hospitalized.
He has received blood trans-fusions
and reports that he might
yet have to undergo an operation.
He doesn't know when he will be
able to leave his hospital confine-ment,
but recently has been able
to be up for a little while at a time
and is feeling much better, now.
The staff of the Clarion has
greatly appreciated Ray's effici-ency
faithfulness and managerial
ability during the past year, but
have come to realize more fully
the extent of his efforts while
printing this last issue in his ab-sence.
Also among the hospitalized is
Miss Edith Larson, office manager
of the College, who has been ab-sent
since the 3rd of May, due
to a serious case of ulcers. She is
reported to. be eating and resting
well now, and feeling in good
spirits.
She, too, hps been greatly miss-ed
by the office force and by all
who are accustomed to see her
ch• eerful smile and depend on her capable assistence.

By President Wingbiade
Henrik Isben was the Shake-speare
of Norway. In one of his
masterpieces, Pere Gyna, he por-trays
a young man who leave his
Lome with all its opportunities and
roams the wide world.
He comes back after years of
wandering and stands unrecogniz-ed
in a crowd on the very day that
his old homestead is auctioned off
to the highest bidder. Later he has
a symbolic vision. It is a picture
of his own life characterizea ny
failure and futility. He hears the
soughing of the wind and a voice
—"These are the songs you did
not sing." He sees falling dew-drops
and hears a voice—"These
are the tears you did not shed."
He hears the rustling of leaves—
"These are the thoughts you did
not think:" He sees broken strows
—"These are the deeds you did
not do."
The lost years rise up as an
indictment, and he realizes that
"of all sad words of tongue or
pen — the saddest are these, II
might have been."
As we look back on the past
school year—how do we feel? Has
it been progressive and construc-tive
intelectually and spiritually?
We trust, and we are sure that in
most cases there has been growth
and progress and victory. But it
may be that some have lost the
battle. If so, there is still hope.
God will give you another chance.
An officer came riding up to
his general with the sad news of
defeat, that the battle joined some
distance away had been lost. The
general looked at the sun still
above the horizon and exclaimed,
"There is time for another battle—
order another charge." And before
sunset defeat has turned into vic-tory.
And the basic truth by which
we live victoriously is found in
the promise and the precept: "Not
by might or power (human) but by
my Spirit saith the Lord." The
secret lies in the vital contact
and identification with Him.
This is wishing all the Bethel
family, students and faculty, a
wonderful summer in the sunshine
of His love!

Be still, my soul; Thy God doth

To guide the future as He has

5 Wins, 2 Losses, Climax Baseball Season
Control Gives Redmen
Concordia Win, 8-4
Concordia was the first to score
in the game and took a 1-0 lead
in their half of the third. Eklof
alked three and a score was
made on a bad pitch. Ted John-son
was the first up for Bethel
in their half of the third and drew
a walk to first. Greenman then
sacrificed from third to first and
placed Johnson on second. Gordy
Johnson then singled to left field,
his second hit of the game, scor-ing
Ted Johnson from second. Del-mar
Johnson then grounded out to
bring up Werts. On a "bad pitch
Gordy Johnson scored from third,
after- which Werts struck out, re-tiring
the side and giving the In-dians
a 2-1 lead as the game enter-ed
the fourth.
In the fourth a pitch hit Burc-hardt
of Concordia putting him on
first, and a single by Zobel brought
him home. The Indians did not
score and the fifth began the score
was tied two apiece.
In the fifth, 5 runs were scored
by the Indians, made by Ken
Greenman, Gordy Johnson, Delmar
Johnson, Bud Pierce, and Harold
Werts. This Bethel rally inning
was accentuated by singles hit by
Gordy Johnson, Bud Pierce, and
Eklof. Concordia failed to score
in the fifth.
Concordia started off the sixth
by matching 3 runs with 3 singles,
to score their last runs of the
game. Bethel scored a run in their
half of the sixth making the score
7-5. In the final inning, Harold
Werts smashed out a single to
right field scoring Delmar John-son
from second, giving the In-dians
their last run. For the final
try for Concordia, the record reads
three up and three down, to end
the game giving Bethel their sec-ond
victory of the season scoring
8-5, over Concordia.
Bethany Takes
Loosely Played
Contest, 9-8
On May 13, the Bethel baseball
team dropped its second straight
at the current campaign. Bethany
of Mankato were the winners over
the Redmen by the score of 9-8
in a game played at Como.
Bethel surprised the fans with
a triple play in the initial frame.
The .Bethany troop had started off
with a walk of Ken Greenman,
and an error on the part of Gordy
Johnson. On the next play, Bud
Eklof on first took in a fly ball,
stepped on first, and then threw
to Gordy Johnson at second for
three outs at a single stroke.
From this point on in, the
game took on a shabby aspect, with
both teams playing poor ball,
guilty of errors, both mechanical
and mental. Bethany took advan-tage
of the right conditions in the
second to score four runs. Bethel
came back in their half of the in-ning
to score one. In the third,
each team pushed one run over the
plate to make the count read 5-2
in Bethany's favor. Bethel scored
one more in the fourth to keep
within range, but Bethany sent
three men over the home plate in
the fifth to pull away once again.
Still keeping in the game, Bethel
scored four runs in the sixth to
keep their hopes alive of winning.
Again each team scored one run
apiece in the eighth inning, but
this ended the afternoon's scor-ing,
and so the score read 9-8
in Bethany's favor.
Delmar Johnson hit a solid triple
in the second inning to score
Eklof. Eklof drove out a double
in another inning. All told, Bethel
outhit the visitors 13-9, but were
unable to score as often.
It was a loosely played ball
game with many errors—six charg-ed
against Bethel and five for
Bethany.
Northwestern Falls
As Indians Avenge
Earlier Loss, 8 - 3
Northwestern Schools of Minne-apolis
downed Bethel in a good
game played on May 10 at Fort
Snelling. It was the first loss for
Bethel in three games this year,
having downed Luther and Concor-dia
earlier in the season.
Bud Eklof pitched a good game,
but received poor supuort from his
team mates as they committed a
total of six errors. Third base
proved to be a bad spot as Delmar
Johnson and Red Anderson bobbl-ed
four balls between them. Pierce
and Eklof also had the misfortune
of making misplays.
The earlier stages had all the
resemblances of a pitcher's duel
between Eklof and Stone for
Northwestern. After a scorless first
three innings, the Mill Citians
broke lose for two runs in the
fourth, followed by Singletons in
the fifth and sixth. Meanwhile,
Bethel scored all three of their
runs in the sixth in a good come-back
rally, but it proved to be
not quite enough. Northwestern
added an insurance run in the
eighth to make the final score in
their favor 5-3.
Each team collected eight hits,
all singles. Danny Bloom was the
hiting star for Bethel, as he drove
in two runs in the big sixth. Gordy
Johnson had 3 for 5 for a good
day at the plate, and Bud Eklof
got two hits in his four times at
bat.
Both teams turned in some fine
fielding and base running. Each
team scored an unassisted double
play. Werts for Bethel and Lehn
for Northwestern.
In the pitching department,
Eklof walked four, struck out 6,
while Stone walked only 2, and
fanned 10.
Sports Sketch
BY DAVE BROWN
Delmar Johnson, 21 year old
junior, is playing his second year
with the Indian baseball team as
third basemen. Previous to his ac-tivities
in Bethel sports, Delmar
played basketball at Hirsch high
school in Chicago, from which he
graduated in 1946; also church
leagues in Chicago—Delmar play-ed
with the Elim Baptist team—
gave him practice in softball. How-ever
his first taste of baseball
came at Bethel last year as he
covered the third base sack. In
addition to baseball, Delmar is an
ardent handball enthusiast, playing
nearly every evening.
In the scholastic field, Delmar
has completed one year of semi-nary
study besides his three years
of college work. At the present
time philosophy is his major but,
if additional sociological subjects
are included in the Bethel cur-riculum
next year Delmar indicat-ed
his desire to switch to a socio-logy
major.
Extra-curriculur activities in the
nature of gospel teams, music, and
the religious council kept Delmar's
life outside of the classroom a
busy one. His abilities in the
musical, including playing the
piano and singing, greatly increase
his value on gospel team work.
Throughout the year, he has been
an active member of the male
chorus.
Delmar remarked that there is
a spiritual bond present this year
in the baseball squad which has
been lacking in some of the past
seasons. In fact, the campus as a
whole has demonstrated greater
unity scholastically and socially
chiefly because of the spiritual
unity effected by the bond of
Christian fellowship, is Delmar's
opinion.
Greenman pitched against Beth-any,
holding them to 5 hits. Both
Bethany and Bethel scored one
run apiece in each of the first
two innings. In the Indian half of
the third, the winning run was
scored by the Indians. The pitching
responsibility shifted to Eklof in
the game with Luther.
NORTHWESTERN FALLS, 8-3
On Wednesday, May the 17th,
the Indians squared up the season
with Northwestern by crossing the
plate with 8 runs and holding the
Eagles to 3. Pitcher Eklof allowed
Northwestern 5 'hits, and the In-dians
banged out 8 hits against
pitcher Schoonover of the Eagles.
Intramural
Statistics

Indians Claim Week-end Wins
Against Bethany and Luther
The final two games of the Indian season were played off last
Saturday when the team journeyed first to Mankato to engage Bethany
in a morning event, and then appeared against Luther in an afternoon
event. Bethany fell 3-2, and Indian power crowned the Luther game
!1-9.
On Tuesday, May the 9th, the Indians showed good control of the
diamond and poked out hits at the right times to defeat Concordia
Junior College of St. Paul, 8-4. Pitcher Eklof allowed 5 hits for Con-cordia,
and the Indians batted out 8 hits against hurler Burchardt of
Concordia.
No scores were recorded in the first two innings, however, a single
in the first by Koehler, put a man / on for Concordia. On an attempt to
steal, Werts picked him off at
second. In the Indians half of the
first Gordon Johnson and Bud
Pierce both singled to left field
but the side was retired before
a score could cross the plate.

Bethel College Draws Students
Of Many Countries and States
In the United States, from Los
Angeles to Brooklyn and from
Bowdoinham, __Maine __to Cotton-wood,
Arizona the students came
to Bethel this school year. Quite
naturally, Minnesota led in the
greatest number from any one
state, but several states pressed
Minnesota for that honor, Illinois
in particular. Illinois claims as
residents at least sixty students
from Bethel. Next in line is Iowa
which sent at least thirty-five
young men and women to St. Paul
and Bethel.
Two other midwest states fol-lowed,
those of Wisconsin and
Michigan in that order. Wisconsin
had at least thirty students and
Michigan about twenty-seven. Then
switching to the far west and Cali-fornia
which sent twenty students
to Bethel this year. Nebraska fol-lowed
with fifteen as did Mas-sachussetts.
Then the states of
Washington was next with thirteen
and North Dakota with twelve,
followed by its sister state of
South Dakota with ten.
Polomeme Potters
Present Pottery
Making Methods
The Polomeme Potters, Mrs.
Susan Conrad and Mr. J. Eldwin
Sawhill, presented an intriguing
demonstration of pottery making
at the College Chapel, Tuesday,
May 16.
Pottery making, in both its an-cient
and modern methods, is a
part of the program and those at-tending
the demonstration saw
vases, bowls, and other earthen-ware
develop before their eyes
on the potter's wheel.
Along with the actual process of
making pottery, Mrs. Conrad and
Mr. Sawhill presented a little of
the history of the most ancient
process of throwing, pressing,
building, and pouring the clay into
forms, while this was demonstrat-ed.
Other more complicated phases
of pottery making such as ceramics

The potter's wheel on which the
earthenware was formed can be
made out of almost anything.
Rev. Thompson
Speaks to Grads
The 1950 graduating class, facul-ty
members, students and friends
of the school met together on Sun-day,
May 21 for the annual bac-calaureate
service held in the col-lege
chapel at 4 P.M. President
Wingblade opened the service with
prayer after which the chapel
choir sang two numbers of praise
and devotion.
Following this, Dean. Carlson of
the college and Dean Omark of
the seminary read Scripture and
led in prayer. The speaker for the
occasion was Rev. Lester Thomp-son
from Muskegon, Michigan who
delivered a challenging message
on the text, "Spring up 0 Well".
After the service, refreshments
were served in the dining hall.
Student Okay
Game Evening
Bethel game night, held Satur-day
night, May 6th, as an experi-ment
on campus, met with such
favor as to promote further activ-ity
next fall.
This idea was first thought of
Ix hen Al Windham and Ron John-son
were talking in the coffee
shop. It was the general idea that
on some Friday or Saturday nights
many students were without "fel-lowship"—
this brought to Al's
mind the successful game nights
held at Bible Institute Of Los
Angeles.
It was estimated that approxi-mately
60 or 70 students partici-pated
in the games. There were
groups playing monopoly, karum,
chess, jig-saw puzzles, even jacks
(all donated by various indivi-duals),
as well as volley ball, ping-pong,
and hand ball.
Next year this function will be
under the direction of some non-affiliated
group and will be held
only on week-end nights when no
other school function is being held.

Bethel's first annual music re-cital
took place Monday night,
May 15, in the college chapel.
Since Bethel has grown in size and
in curriculum these past two years
there has been a growing interest
in music in all its forms and
several gave expression to that in-terest
last Monday night.
Participants in the recital were:
Rhoda Armstrong, Piano; Clarence
Larson, voice; Carol Dubuque,
piano; Claryce Skoog, voice; Rich-ard
Dahiquist and Jim Hubbard,
piano; Phil McLain, voice; Al and
Dick Anthony, piano; Keith La-
Gesse, voice; Conrad Lundberg,
violin; Benny Asplund, voice; Ruth
Erbst, organ; Anna Karcher, vio-lin;
Audrey Ekdahl, voice; Carol
Addington, piano; and an instru-mental
ensemble.
The music department has added
both instructors and courses this
year, making it possible for more
students to study than ever be-fore.
Plans for the future are not
complete as yet, but it is certain
that the student music recital will
be an annual affair at Bethel.

In order to give the dining hall
cooks a vacation and enable them
to better enjoy the evening, the
dinner will be prepared by Russ
Dangare and Neal Floberg, Having
had past experience in the fine art
of cooking in the armed forces,
these men promise to turn out a
delicious dinner of steak and
French fries.
A brief program has been ar-ranged
for the evening. Harold
Christenson, dining hall director,
is the scheduled speaker. The dut-ies
of toastmaster will be handled
by Neal Floberg. Vocal selections
will be presented by Elaine Holm-quist,
Faye Seaquist, and Paul

will render a trombone solo. Karl
Lechler will lead the group in de-votions.
A feature entitled "Dining
Hall Memories" will also be pre-sented.
Decorations for this event are
being handled by the men of the

finally reached as far north as
Minnesota, the dining hall will be
decked in a May day scheme.
Plans call for roses, ribbons, and
an old fashioned Maypole. Table
favors will take the form of mortar
board nut cups.

Climaxing an eventful year of activities as a group, the members
of the Bethel Dining Hall staff will gather this evening in Bethel's
Green Room for their annual Spring Banquet. This event will be of
special significance to many as a large majority of the staff will not
be returning next year.
The student body of Bethel college for 1949-50 was made up of
students from at least twenty-four states and ten foreign countries.
Heading the list from foreign countries was our good neighbor to
the north, Canada with at least eight students. Although Mexico was
not represented, Guatemala, a little farther down the map, was repre-sented
by Roselia Solis from Guatemala City.
The Scandinavian countries, Norway, Sweden, and Finland each
contributed one student to the lists of Bethel. They are Thorleif Aune-vik,
Paul Lillienburg and Alwar Sundell, from Norway, Sweden, and
Finland respectively.
From England came Edward Avey, from the Netherlands was
Johannes Niemeyer, and Germany
was represented by Annemarie
Oesterle. While on the other side
of the world Bethel was privileged
to have China and the Phillipines
represented by Helen Chao, and
Amado Chunco respectively.
